Notes on weaving

Notes on weaving

Louise Pitman served as director of the craft department at the John C. Campbell Folk School from 1928 into the 1940s. She was best known for her experiments with natural vegetable dyes; however, she was a skilled weaver as well. Her notes include an estimate for materials for rugs, linsey-woolsey dress fabric, scarves, and coverlets; suggested uses for various woven materials; and an index of four harness overshot weaving patterns from the "Shuttle-Craft Book of American Weaving." It is unclear whether Pitman authored all these notes or if she compiled them from other sources.
